Laser-engraved Moleskines…freakin’ sweet!

23052008

Have you seen these yet? They’re definitely for the hardcore Moleskine-ite, but wow, these are cool! As I’ve said a few times before, I have sort of a love/hate relationship with the Moleskine notebook as the paper quality can be sketchy (and patently NOT friendly for use with a fountain pen), but these are outstanding. Here’s a few of my favorites from their product catalog, but they also do custom orders. I could easily see some of the more productivity-oriented consulting groups and/or companies making these into quite the marketing piece!

There’s a couple of other companies (other than that Etchstar/LaserMoleskine)are doing these too, I think. Most notably, Modofly. Here’s a few pics and links. Cool stuff!

Like I said, I’m not always the world’s biggest fan of Moleskines, but I think this whole personalization concept is pretty cool.

Stick around…next week we’ll get back to the $80 category, and finish up the series with the “What can I get for a Benjamin?” post. Then…on to new and different and exciting things!

While the designs of the Journey notebooks from Exacompta aren’t quite as uh, bold, as these (nor can they be personalized), they do have some pretty neat stuff. And the Exacompta paper is of a consistently higher-quality, especially for those of us addicted to fountain pens and wet ink. In fact, if it weren’t for that darn expandable pocket in the Moleskine, the Exacomptas would be superior in just about every way.
